What Was Hygiene Like In Ancient Egypt?

Men Practiced Circumcision For Cleanliness: Circumcision in ancient Egypt likely began as a cleanliness practice, with uncircumcised men deemed impure and barred from temples. Over time, it became tied to religious rituals. Similarly, women removed pubic hair through shaving or natural methods, both for intimacy preparation and to repel pests like lice and fleas.
